Definition

1. Adjective:
   • Occupying an entire page: Describes something, typically an advertisement, illustration, or other content, that takes up the complete area of a single page in a publication like a book, newspaper, or magazine.

Usage

• The adjective "full-page" is used attributively, meaning it almost always comes directly before a noun to describe it.
• It is typically hyphenated when used as a compound adjective before a noun.

Examples

• Adjective:
  • The company bought a full-page advertisement in the Sunday newspaper.
  • Her novel features a full-page illustration at the start of each chapter.
  • The magazine ran a full-page photo of the award-winning athlete.

Advanced Usage

• "full-page spread": This term is sometimes used, though "spread" often implies content across two facing pages. "Full-page" strictly refers to a single page.
  • The article was accompanied by a full-page spread of infographics. (Here, "spread" is the noun, and "full-page" describes its nature.)

Variants and Related Words

• Full-color (adj): Printed using a full range of colors, often used in conjunction with "full-page" (e.g., a full-page, full-color ad).
• Double-page spread (n): Content that extends across two facing pages, which is different from a single "full-page" item.

Synonyms
